I know this is super backdated but I have been keeping the best things for the last! I am only blogging about this now because we have FREE massages to give away this weekend :))) I had the most interesting hens’ party just before the wedding, in fact it was an idea Sharmie and I toye...

i didn't start caring for my skin until one or two years ago (too late, yes i know) but when i was younger, i didn't give two hoots about grooming my brows, applying sunblock, or even cleansing my face properly. i had good skin in my teens and i remember only washing my face with tap ...

randomly, am proud to announce that i'm keeping my 2012 resolution of decluttering my bag... friends can testify to how much junk i bring around because of that dreaded 3 words - "just in case". i used to lug around two wallets, one keypouch, one camera pouch, my FULL makeup pouch, ti...

Even though my skin is like crap from the makeup, my sleeping hours are in a mess from the past few days and my hand feels different cos of a sparkly, I am indeed happy. Yes, I am :) A HUGE shout-out to my girls (yes, i am becoming like YC (the BF upgraded) super naggy. hur hur) thank...

joined my sisters and her colleagues & ex-collegues & friends & friends of friends for countdown at St James the next day! save for those two years working on Siloso Beach Party, think i've never participated in any large-scale countdowns before so this was a first... and definitely n...

And so, its Year 2012 already. I was just looking back at the older entries, and could still remember exactly what was happening in Jan 2011 and then, how could it be 12 months later now?! While 2010 was a year of change, 2011 was pretty smooth-sailing. We ported missypixie from a liv...

2012's just a day away and i just want it to come quick because honestly, the last of 2011 hasn't exactly been smooth-sailing for me. i don't know and won't know what the new year holds, but all i can say is that i hope faith will pull me through - come what may.

FINAAAAAHHLEEEEEE. A long weekend. A long weekend in our case = TWO. TWO whole days of not checking emails. TWO. Instead of one. Wow. Now i feel pathetic. sighs. :( My Christmas week started off non-Christmasy. I spent about 10 mins happily randomly sticking 'xi' stickers on huge oran...

if you still don't know, we are selling these amazing babies on our site - roll-up ballet flats that fit into any bag. god knows how many times i have bought shoes because my blisters were too painful to bear/my shoes gave way... kel can testify to that man. with these Rollies hopeful...

Am still coughing from last week and still sounding like crap. It has gotten to a point that i pretty much want to give up talking. :( Have been running pre-wedding errands the past few weekends, hence lack of good food and interesting places to go. spent my weekend in my new fav fore...

this week ain't so good cos i caught a bout of flu from my parents and am now sounding like a cross between a frog and man. A very deep-throated man. You must imagine this does no good for me cos i just spent the entire week flouncing around in girly dresses. I swear a few people actu...

in other unrelated news, was super inspired by one of my models, XM, and went to youtube videos of nail art - she had done her galaxy nails using the tutorial and it looked super professional! pity i forgot to take pictures of her artwork but she said she'll do it for me when i'm read...

Being the diligent blogger I am, here i go, blogging at 1am in the morning, barely 2 hours after i just got off the plane. -bows- Nothing much happened last week, with the exception of the Maybelline shoot we did with the winner of the Maybelline/Missypixie contest, Rachel :) Had plen...

there are so many people to please and sometimes we are just unable to make every single one happy. we're human just like you - with bad days, PMS, feelings, emotions, work blues - and i think most of the time people lose sight of that fact. im not saying this for you to cut us some s...

anon1: hello babe, dont think we will be doing this pair of shorts cos it can be quite pricey due to workmanship! anon2: haha, that wine blouse is PAM WINE i think! its already launched, but its pending now :_ Rebecca: i am updated! i got to Oct issues le, but am planning to get the y...

I have been feeling pretty book-ified this week. All thanks to a whole bunch of e-books my sis offloaded on me and oh boy, i was in geek heaven. Its like a whole bunch of unread books, all just waiting for me. I simply can't wait. :) Anyway, i have been a diligent blogger this week, t...

Obviously, didnt manage to go to BKK this week cos of the floods. Its worrying me to bits cos stocks are stuck there and our cargo are all over the place. Gosh :( Spent the week in SG doing as much as I can before the BF books in for reservist. i usually dress based on proportions, li...

so we'll close our eyes and pray. after a long thumb-twiddling, brain-racking, pros-and-cons-weighing session via a multitude of whatsapp messages, bbms and phone calls to one another, the airlines, insurance agents and whatnots, we decided to forgo the trip tomorrow in view of the ri...

When you work in fashion, dressing up is important. You are almost required to look stylish, trendy, hip etc. should you bump into anyone and tell that you are in fashion retail only to have them eyeball you cos you don't look like it. I used to go BKK in all my 'cui' glory. Basic tan...

The weather is seriously wonky these days. I am not complaining if its raining (cos that beats sweating like mad) but its troublesome when i gotta do mails or stock-ins. All that standing in the rain flagging for cabs with tons and tons of plastic bags is no joke, really. Plus, it bet...

went to check out Chef Showtime restaurant, as recommended to us by one of the boy's clients who couldn't stop raving about it - walked a good twenty minutes in the rain to get to the location - and thankfully it was worth it!

BKK sourcing trip last week and my greatest find was... SIEW MAI - Thailand style. Instead of dipping in chili, they actually serve it with bits of fried garlic sprinkled (or in my case, dumped) over the siew mai, and a saucer of vinegar for you to dip it into. Oooohh nom nom nom good...
